About
the Book:

Deflowering the princess may just
save her life.

Princess Justine found an
unlikely ally when she stormed into the stables and found an angry,
devastatingly handsome young man tending to her mare. Victor belonged to her
soon-to-be Queen mother-in-law, and he had the whip marks on his muscled back
to prove it.

The Queen, an enchantress
well-accomplished in the art of black magic, turns Victor into a creature like
no other. He’s a ten foot tall beastly
wall of muscle, animalistic sinew and savagery ready to unleash every primal
urge coiled within him. At the Queen’s command, he kidnaps Justine on her
wedding day to the prince — but refuses to kill her. Instead, he keeps her safe
by turning her from a threat to the Queen’s power, into a ruined woman who will
never ascend the throne.

Now the Beast holds his princess
captive in the woods, his focus on only one mission: deflower her and get her
with child before the queen comes back to kill Justine herself.

He wasn’t expecting Justine to
see past his terrifying form and straight into his heart. Setting her free is
no more of an option than keeping her. But as their tentative alliance forms,
both Victor and Justine can’t help but wonder— what if being together is their
chance for true love?

"Beast," she said,
trying to steady the tremble in her voice. "I have no quarrel with you,
sir. Please don't hurt me."

To her surprise, the beast
dropped down on all fours to be closer to her, and shook his massive head. A
lock from his dark mane fell over his blue-gray eyes, and Justine paused. It
made no sense for him to remind her of... Victor.

Maybe it was just that feeling
they inspired in her that drew the comparison in her mind. That feeling she got
when she stood on the edge of a cliff and stared down, and wondered what it
would feel like to jump if only she had wings to keep her from crashing.
Staring at the beast now, he felt like both the cliff... and the wings.

"I had no choice but to take
you, Princess," he said, his voice gravelly and deep. "Do not run
from me."

The cadence of his low voice
sounded familiar, but that didn't make sense.

No. This wasn't real. "You
are a figment of my imagination. There is no beast like you in nature. "

His face was millimeters from her
own. He pressed his cheek to hers, his rough whiskers prickling her own
delicate skin.

Goosebumps raised along her arms.
If it were a dream, would she be feeling that?

"I am real," he
growled. "But you are right about one thing, Princess. I am not
natural."

"Please wake up," she
shouted, hoping it would jolt her out of her nightmare.

With a dangerous smile that bared
his fangs, the beast gripped her arm. "This is no dream. Shall I pinch
you, and prove it?"

"Yes," she said, with a
boldness she didn’t feel. This nightmare was going on too long—

The beast raised one thick
eyebrow... though the eyebrow blended in on his face, which was covered in
smooth short hairs that did nothing to hide his strong jaw and high cheekbones.

He picked her up off the ground,
his large hands so human if not for the claws that adorned them. Yet they
weren't paws. He definitely had fingers, holding her firmly under her buttocks.
Each one sent a line of heat through her chilled flesh.

The claws that had torn her gown
earlier didn't touch her now. Had he... retracted them? Like a cat?

With a groan that sounded too
much like raw satisfaction for her sensibilities, he pinched a handful of the
flesh on her bottom.

The jolt of pain made her yelp in
surprise. *Pinches in a dream shouldn’t hurt.*

He dropped his mouth to her neck,
his whiskers scratching her delicate skin, and nibbled her ear. It didn't hurt,
despite his sharp fangs. He wasn't tasting her... he was toying with her.

His tongue was soft sandpaper
against her fragile skin, like a cat tongue. It tickled and made her restless,
unable to keep still his arms.

He pulled away from her ear to
stare into her eyes. She couldn't look away as he growled softly and pinched
each handful of her ass cheeks again, holding her flesh hostage even as she
squirmed against him.

*This is not a dream.*

"Stop!" she gasped,
struggling to be free of his iron grip.

Her attempts to move her bottom
away from his hands only served to press her mound against torso. Quick as
could be, the beast adjusted one hand to grab the junction of her thighs,
forcing a moan from her mouth.

"Am I real to you now,
Justine?"

He knew her name. He used her
name as if he knew *her.*

Review:

This tale is a twist of Snow White and Beauty and the Beast and I loved it. A stable hand is changed into a beast and must ruin a princess to save her life from the evil queen. A pure fairy tale fantasy complete with a cabin in the forest and some super smexy shifter type action.

Great read for the fairy tale enthusiast!

4/5
